2016 AAO Webinar - Mergers - A Transition Structure with Multiple Benefits

Orthodontics is in the midst of much change. Practice mergers are a rapidly emerging practice structure. This structure allows doctors to operate much as they always have within the bounds of a structure that provides cost savings, strategic advantages, increases their competitive position and has a built-in transition plan.

After this lecture you will be able to:

• Distinguish a merger from more traditional models;
• Explain how a merger can increase practice value and reduce overhead costs;
• Explain how the doctor’s financial benefit is increased;
• Explain how a merger provides a defense against encroachment from non-orthodontic practices.
